Cancel Culture
Cancel culture refers to the practice of withdrawing support for public figures, companies, or individuals after they have said or done something considered objectionable or offensive. This phenomenon, often amplified by social media, can result in boycotts, loss of employment, or reputational damage. Supporters view cancel culture as a way to hold people accountable, while critics argue it can lead to excessive punishment and stifling of free expression. The term has sparked significant debate regarding its impact on society, freedom of speech, and justice.
